Lap Band, My Future And Possible Issues
Maybe it hurts her or something. I have a friend that said it hurt for years while having sex but never told her husband. She finally went to the doctor and found out she had a fibroid. She didn't want him to leave her or cheat on her so she kept it a secret. I would have never went that long without getting checked out but everyone is different. She was scared she had cancer and didn't want to go to the doctor to get the bad news. She didn't even have cancer so she waited for nothing and had painful sex for about 2 years. I'm sure it could be a hundred reason's why she doesn't want to do it but....I guess your wife wouldn't have fibroids because they would have seen that when she was pregnant but some women have issues just from being penetrated.

What Can I Eat.
Oh, I wouldn't pay $80.00 just to ask questions!! LOL! Oh, btw your title says surgery date 5-25-12 and that's why Elcee thought you was on your pre-surgery diet...I think eggs are a good source of protein for breakfast so you should be okay. You can eat a protein bar after your shake.
- Sad :(

Acid Reflux 14 Months After Surgery
My acid reflux came back at almost two years of being banded. It happend one month after I got my last fill. I had an unfill and it's much better. I haven't lost any weight since that unfill and I am very disappointed that I can't get another fill because of the acid. I am trying to just do better with a low carb diet.

3 Weeks Post Op And Gaining!!
Well, like most of us you probably lost a lot of Water weight at first. Water weight comes back sometimes when you get off of your liquid diet. Please give your body some time to adjust to introducing solids back.

Bmi Too High...
It's weird that they make some people lose weight before surgery because I had a bmi of 60 something. I weighed 373 when I went in for my initial consult....maybe it has something to do with how much fat you have around your stomach area?

Hey February 2010 Bandsters!
Hello Feb 2010 Bandsters! Congrats to all that made it to goal and to those that are still maintaining. I got married in Sept and it's been downhill from there! LOL! I pretty much stopped working out and eating right. I am back to working out on a regular basis and eating way much better. I had a hard time adjusting to being married and finding time to take care of me. I think I got it now!

Starting Over
I am starting over again too. I got married 6 months ago and have gained 4 pounds a month since then........I was a slow loser too like you said, but at least I was losing. I joined Curves yesterday. I plan on going to Curves 3 times a week and to my other gym 3 times a week. I didn't know how to adjust shopping for two people, going out to eat (honeymoon phase), and cooking for two people. Before I got married I only cooked for myself and I ate the same foods over and over again. My husband told me he was going to eat chicken breast and sweet potatoes everyday! LOL! Sorry to read about your mother. My mom passed in 2007 and I gained 25 pounds right after she passed in a few months. Some people stop eating when they get sad but I eat more....I wish you well on this journey.
